About this event

A kitchen dresser with shelves filled with familiar objects: brushes, bottles, cloths, containers. Everyday things, many broken or discarded. But as the handle turns, they come alive – lights flicker across the surface, casting shadows and revealing hidden connections. Objects start to transform, from these everyday tools of domestic life, new forms emerge.

Practicalities: The site is wheelchair accessible.

About the Artist

Carlos Zapata makes idiosyncratic carved and painted sculpture and installation. His work deals with many challenging and potent themes from poverty, conflict, religion and race, yet paradoxically, the overriding characteristics of the work are of empathy and compassion. Alongside this, Carlos has a long history of making automata, first in theatre settings, now often one-off commissions for private collectors, responding to personal experiences and requests, or for public institutions, drawing inspiration from the history or collection of the institution. In the last 28 years he been commission by museums, public spaces and private collectors in Europe, Asia and America.
